Mbenza deal hasn't actually been confirmed yet by the FA/EFL due to the submission of documents being so late (started before 11 but went on after that). A lot of to-ing and fro-ing last night with Wigan even getting involved.

Think everyone is being a bit premature in their excitement at signing Willock. Yes it's good that we brought in a winger but he hasn't made a single appearance for West Brom while being fit the whole season. There has to be a reason for that Ohh FFS - he might turn out to be utter shite, on the other hand he could be a Ben Thornley type loan, hit the ground running and be a hit, but either way if you can't raise a bit of enthusiasm this week, we've had a 90th minute winner at a ground we never win at, confirmation of £250 season cards again and had what even hardened critics would call a successful January transfer window. I think it's been a good window, more so because of the wages we are saving for six months with the players we've offloaded. 4 good signings in Toffolo, Stearman, Smith Rowe and Lossl. Then two players who couldn't get a game at their previous clubs but one of those you can understand as it sounds like he's a good experienced head to have around. The Willock one to me looks like a bit of a last minute he'll have to do type signing. West Brom have had a few injuries recently in wide areas and he still couldn't get close to a game. Hopefully he does very well but given the amount of money we've received this season and also saved in wages through loaning players out, I was hoping we would be bringing in a bit more of a sure thing for a position we've needed someone in all season

Fantastic window. Particularly happy to have Lössl back.
Safe by ten points this season, play-off push next*.
*Yeah, I realise we're relying on loans and they'll probably (possibly?) be gone next season; but I'm basing this on my confidence in the current management, my relentless optimism and Aldi lager.

Worrying. Judging by the look of the bloke on the Amiens video he could have been signing anything! Amiens are saying it has happened on their website, though, if that counts as official (six month loan). Nothing has been easy with Mbenza it would seem. Worst signing Town have made in my 50-odd years. Actually a very good point made there. Complete silence from Town yet there's mention on that other website. Did it happen and if it did does that tell you everything you need to know about how the club feel about Isaac?MaynardBlue answered this ages ago on a thread somewhere - there are so many threads which interweave with similar subject matter I can't now recall which. The problem is down to Amiens submitting one of the papers late, after the deadline, and whilst Amiens were happy to announce the deal, HTAFC are waiting for the FA to ratify it. He also said that Amiens have previous for this kind of slack, French, cock-up.

Well at least he is consistent. Strange one really. He has looked the part in short bursts, Stoke away for example. The wonder is, given this new opportunity, he is obviously not busting a gut to prove himself, or is he just really that bad.

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but an interesting watch.
Talks about Reece Brown and complements our club were brilliant to do business with. Sounds like it is a loan to buy.
Also talks about Maddison. Either we were the third club he mentions but doesn't name, or more likely, we weren't interested. Sounds like he has delusions of grandure. We don't need any more of that at our club.

He's very honest about how high maintenance Maddison is, and people wondered why we weren't interested?? Cowleys know what they are doing.

We don't need any more of that at our club. Generally always disliked anything Peterborough FC for obvious reasons, however this guy must be one of the most likeable guys in lower league football. Followed him on Twitter for a long time now, and he's incredibly down to earth, open and honest. Both him and Andy Holt, the Accrington Stanley chairman, are great ambassadors for the game, and not afraid to tell it as it is.

Posh have got a good side now.

He comes across well, I feel guilty now for having a little snigger when Peterborough lose

Sounds like a good thing that we didn't go for Marcus Maddison he sounds very high maintenance

We don't need any more of that at our club. You can say what you like about Posh, but they are a really well run club who have a real eye for spotting lower league talent. I can't think of a better L1/L2 club when it comes to picking up nobodies for peanuts and then selling them on for big bucks on a regular basis. I hope that they do go up this year - their fans must be well pissed-off at the way their top players keep being sold off. And yes, McAnthony has said all along that they want to turn the Brown loan into a purchase; they wanted to buy him last season but we got there first with more cash.

Interesting video, worth the 22 minutes it takes to watch. If we get the right money for Mounié in the summer, I'd go for Toney, he's much more mobile

Sounds like if Bournemouth sell Josh king or wba get promoted they will blow every championship team out of the water for Toney.

But you’re right, well-run club, always entertaining footy, high-scoring (think they broke a few goal-scoring records back in the sixties when they’d just entered the football league!). Bit of a bogey-team for us over the years though, but yes, hope they get promoted (as long as we DON’T go down!!)
